A celebration of life service will be held at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 3, 2013, in the chapel of First United Methodist Church in Plainview, with William LaFont and Dr. T.

Colin Ashley Coe, Sr. was born on September 15, 1949 in Plainview to Benton and Ruby Nell (Ashley) Coe. He spent his early childhood between Plainview and Dallas and graduated from Plainview High School in 1968. He and Cheryl Davies were married on September 19, 1975. He received both a bachelor's and a law degree from Texas Tech University, and then went on to work in the Texas State Legislature for over 15 years. During this time, he worked for the Legislative Budget Board, the Speakers Office, the Sunset Advisory Commission, and served as General Counsel for State Senator Royce West. He most recently served as Chief of Staff for State House Representative Marisa Marquez.
Colin loved cooking, watching old movies, listening to country or classical music, playing golf, etc., etc. He had a quick, wry humor and loved telling outrageous stories. Most of all he loved taking his best friend, Max (Border Collie) to Lady Bird Lake on the weekends.
Colin is survived by his family: wife, Cheryl Coe of Austin; mother, Ruby Nell Coe; son, Colin Coe, Jr., both of Lubbock; step-son, Greg Childers and step-daughter, Christiane Cochran, both of Las Vegas, NV, 6 grandchildren; sisters: Suzanne Coyle and Nancy Donaldson, both of Angel Fire, NM. Colin was preceded in death by his father, Benton Duane Coe, and his grandparents: Mr. and Mrs. John Coe, and Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Ashley.
The family suggests contributions be made to the charity of one's choosing in lieu of flowers.
